Regular readers of High School Football America know that I’ve been referring to the Big 33 Classic as “the Super Bowl of High School Football” for decades…probably before the organization began using the phrase in its marketing. Wednesday, officials of the high school football all-star game that has had an alum in EVERY Super Bowl, announced its Pennsylvania roster for the 63rd game that will be played between Pennsylvania and Maryland on May 25 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Below is this year’s 38-man roster:

For those of you not familiar with the Big 33, it’s an all-star high school football game played in Pennsylvania since 1958. Over the years, Pennsylvania all-stars have squared-off against all-star teams from Maryland, Ohio and Texas. On other occasions, Pennsylvania has faced an all-USA team.
The streak started when Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back Herb Adderley played for the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl I. Adderley was a Big 33’er from Northeast High School in Philadelphia.
